Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm a Linux noob ... <br />
<br />
So I've managed to install Wordpress on my new Ubuntu server but now I want to activate the WP Network option. In order to do this I need to set a domain wildcard for my Ubuntu server <br />
<br />
This page (<a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Multiple_Blogs_into_WordPress_3.0_Multisite" rel="ugc">http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Multiple_Blogs_into_WordPress_3.0_Multisite</a>) tells me to do this: <br />
<br />
<i>Create a wildcard subdomain. This should be as easy as going into cPanel and creating a subdomain named *.</i><br />
<br />
But I don't have cPanel ... I'm working on a local server.<br />
<br />
So how would I do this (I'm connected to my Ubuntu server via PuTTY)? Step by step please, as I don't know much about the Linux CLI ... <br />
<br />
Thank you very much!<br />
<br />

Ubuntu &amp; Wordpress: setting wildcard domain?

WordPress is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) based on PHP and MySQL for creating websites and blogs. Features include a plugin architecture, a template system and strong management, customization and search systems; through its dynamic presentation of content, webmasters have the flexibility to create websites easily.

WordPress

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

Kernel programming for Linux operating systems can be done with many different languages; C, C++, Python, Perl and Java, which are some of the most common languages used.There are also many different varieties of Linux, such as Ubuntu, Fedora and OpenSUSE.
